More #Canadian #prairie #jackrabbits (again, actually a kind of #hare, not #rabbit...) from my wintry yard today.
These two handsome fellers (or gals, who knows?) are in the front yard, looking at me through my open front door. One's got a skinnier head than the other. Dunno if that tells me anything. They all keep some dark markings on their ears and nose when they turn white for the winter, but there's a lot of variety in terms of how much and where else they keep a bit of colour.
Again, these are probably Lepus townsendii, the White-tailed Jackrabbit. There are also Lepus americanus, the Snowshoe Hare, in the prairies, but I think they're mostly further north than me, up where the trees start in what we call the "parkland" area. I'm in the middle of the "grain belt", which is bald prairie for the most part.
I have a bunch more of these, plus some videos which need trimming. Captioning these takes some effort so it might take me a while to work through them.
